Panchkula Drowns: Drainage Failure Exposes City’s Neglect
Torrential rains have once again exposed the woeful state of Panchkula’s drainage infrastructure. Public parks are submerged, roads resemble canals, and the daily lives of residents are severely disrupted.
Waterlogging is rampant, posing significant health hazards. Stagnant water breeds mosquitoes, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases. The situation is particularly concerning for children and the elderly.
Residents have repeatedly voiced their concerns to the authorities. Yet, despite numerous complaints, no substantial maintenance or engineering solutions have been implemented. This inaction is unacceptable.
This recurring crisis highlights a critical failure of urban planning and governance in Panchkula. The lack of proactive measures to address this predictable problem demands immediate attention from the local administration. The city’s health and well-being are at stake. The administration must act swiftly to prevent a repeat of this avoidable disaster. Failure to do so will only further erode public trust.
